[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am Now lay me down on market street Am I'm lookin' for some spare change Am A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me Am And I might have to change my name F5 C5 D5 E5 Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans F5 C5 The local chief's on the radio D5 He's got some hungry mouths to feed E5 N.C. Am Goin back to Alcatraz
[Verse 2]
Am Lay me back down here on the highway Am One hundred and one ways to go Am Solitary is so confinin' Am To the legend of Geronimo F5 C5 Oh I know I could bring the rain D5 E5 Used to dance for ABC F5 C5 And all the braves down on death row D5 Are pretending to be free E5 N.C. Am Back home in Alcatraz
[Bridge]
E5 In the land of the great white father E5 My American blood runs cold E5 I left my home in Oklahoma A5 To the Everglades I go E5 It's just the wings on the silver cars A5 And I'm allowed to plow a field E5 It's not the life for a nineteen seventy
N.C.
(What's an) Indian boy to do
E5 N.C. Am Goin' back to Alcatraz
